Cardinal Sean O’Malley attended real estate magnate Jack Conway’s wake Thursday night. U.S. Senator John Kerry was among the mourners at Conway’s Friday morning funeral Mass at St. Mary of the Nativity Church.

But most of the hundreds who filled the sanctuary were family, friends and fellow parishioners – including an honor guard from the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 144 in Scituate, where Conway was a longtime member.

The man best known as the founder of the real estate business nicknamed “Conway Country” died Monday after a struggle with cancer. He was 88.
